Cloud5 filled up again overnight. Mek drew my attention to it right away, though I would have noticed it eventually... probably when I was trying to do something on wooz.dev and suddenly couldn't. Once again I had to start copying the slow-but-easy way because I hadn't been working on FTM when I should have been. Bleh.

Accidental discovery: over-network document-scanning works now! (...barely! But I'll take it!) (The scanner device in question is this one.)

Here's where we are with FTM:

==================================
File Tree Mover v0.00 / 2022-10-19
==================================
INPUT ERROR: You must enter folders for both source and target.
USAGE: ./ftm [<options>] <source folder> <target folder>
DOCS: https://wooz.dev/Futilities/human/ftm
Options: 
  --config-file
  --do-delete
  --show-progress
  -cf
  -dd
  -sp

The error message is in accordance with my UI standards: if the user didn't type in enough information to do something, then the app should explain this and describe briefly what is needed.

When I give it a source folder it goes into an infinite loop – which is apparently because I'm mis-implementing the DescribeSelf() method, so I'm documenting that and fixing it.

  The lighting here looks so staged, but I swear this is outdoors and I did not use a flash.

  The CGI people clearly need to work on the realism of their rendering.

• 

  This one's a bit more believable.

  I pulled English ivy off some pine trees close to the house, long overdue.
